ELI activities in the Geopark of Central Catalonia

In November 2017, a presentation of Earthlearningidea activities was made in the Geopark of Central Catalonia. The activities were included as part of the training programme for tourist promoters working within the Geopark. 

The photos have been included in the Photo gallery on the ELI website.
There are many activities on the website that can be used for presentations like this one.

Interpret Earth temperatures from simulated deep-sea and ice cores

The new Earthlearningidea today is 'Interpret Earth temperatures from simulated deep-sea and ice cores' This activity uses sweets to simulate oxygen isotope ratios in cores.

This is an activity to plot Earth’s temperature indications from mock ice and deep-sea sediment cores. The activity consolidates understanding of how the 18 O: 16 O ratios in ice cores and deep-sea cores respectively can be interpreted in terms of warmer (interglacial) or cooler (glacial) Earth temperatures.
